Getting an exemption on a $3,000,000 home... worth $1,500?! Are we seriously complaining about that? His property tax is
over $60,000. So $1,500 coupon... that is what, 2.5%?
You know what is really the news here... he actually
paid his property taxes.
The issue is that he may have voted illegally in Georgia, due to the laws required for one to vote here. Receiving the exemption may make his unqualified to vote in Georgia. It has nothing to do with the size of the exemption. But, as I said earlier, I'm not expecting anything to come of this. Perhaps the state will ask him to pay back the exemption or something like that.
What's freaking me out this morning is that the lines for early voting are far longer than anything I've ever seen since we started having the option of early voting. The parking lot was so full that people were parked along the curbs of the lot. Our senior center is in the same lot as the early voting place. What worried me, is that my district is rather conservative and from what I've read, Walker's supporters are more motivated to vote compared to Warnock's. Of course, I'm probably over reacting since my district is small compared to the Atlanta area. I just didn't expect to see such a huge turnout. I'm going to try and vote tomorrow. Hopefully, the lines won't be as long. I don't know how anyone can vote for such a brain damaged man who has no idea what's going on.
